NWA Architectural On 6th April this year, the Government introduced a new piece of legislation The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, known as CDM 2015, this replaces The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007. Whilst the principles of the new legislation are fundamentally similar, there are two differences in application and responsibilities. CDM Legislation has been in force since 1994 although many people outside of the construction industry are unaware of it. In essence, it places duties on clients, designers and contractors who are undertaking construction works in respect of health and safety in construction. Construction work under the new legislation covers almost everything from minor roof repairs and repainting through to multi-million pound engineering and building projects. For the first time, it also includes domestic works. How this affects you is that in obtaining planning consent for a new building and instructing contractors to build it, you have entered into the new CDM 2015 requirements. Many of your duties will be carried out on your behalf by one of two duty holders, the Principal Designer or the Principal Contractor who must be instructed in writing. The phrase Principal Designer is likely to cause confusion as many people will assume anybody who designs will automatically become a Principal Designer, this is not the case and a Principal designer has to be formally appointed separately to any other design or professional role. If your work has started, there is a six month compliance period to put the new requirements in place. If you have completed the project, then the requirements of the old act should be complied with. If you require further information please contact Greg Gilding
